Publisher's summary
One young man, after the medical system fails him, suffers alone, bedridden for 10 years, then solves his own medical mystery. In Revolution from My Bed: Regain Control of Your Life as a Patient, Roi Shternin offers a wakeup call to doctors and a call to action for chronically ill patients.
Rejecting the doctor’s dire pronouncement he would never walk again, nor marry or have children, Shternin regains full control of his life. A real-life medical mystery, turned into a medical wonder, he diagnosed himself with a not-so-rare condition (POTS syndrome). At 27, Shternin taught himself to walk and talk again, then persevered through the following five years of periodic relapses. Fully rehabilitated, on reintegrating back into society, he discovered his mission: Patients need a revolution. He founded The Patient School, where people learn self-advocacy to take charge of their medical journey, and discover how to gamify and baby step their way to increased health and vitality.
“I woke up the night of my ultimate collapse at 23, drenched in sweat, pain, and sorrow, sicker than I’d ever been. This marked the beginning of five solid years condemned to my bed. Surrounded by ugly, blinking, cliche neon lights, everything beeped. People moaned. Powerless. All dignity lost. I became the old lady in the corridor, the ugly face of healthcare. Every day, an invalid confined to my bed, I woke to the fear, ‘There is no recovery for me.’ Left to my own devices, to die—alone. This is my story.”

In The Anatomy of a Calling, Lissa Rankin, MD, makes a simple yet revolutionary claim: We are all, every single one of us, heroes. We are all on what Joseph Campbell calls "a hero's journey"; we are all on a mission to step into our true nature and fulfill the assignment our souls were sent to Earth to fulfill. Navigating the hero's journey, Dr. Rankin argues, is one of the cornerstones of living a meaningful, authentic, healthy life.

You get ready to die the way you get ready for a trip. Start by realizing you don't know the way. Listen to a few travel guides. Study the language, look at maps, gather equipment. Let yourself imagine what it will be like. Pack your bags. This book is one of those travel guides - a guide to preparing for your own death and the deaths of people close to you. The fact of death is hard to believe. Sallie Tisdale explores our fears and all the ways death and talking about death make us uncomfortable - but she also explores its intimacies and joys.

It's not a surprise that our fast-paced, overly analytical culture is pushing people - especially women - to spend countless hours thinking about negative ideas, feelings, and experiences. Renowned psychologist Dr. Susan Nolen-Hoeksema calls this "overthinking". Her groundbreaking research shows that an increasing number of women - more than half of those in her extensive study - are doing it too much and too often, hindering their ability to lead a satisfying life.
